Octave Pedal - 4 what???

Greetings folks, last christmas I got an EBS Octave pedal and used it one time to briefly check it out, and then put it back in the box where it's been ever since. What type of stuff do you use it for?

I,m speaking a little out of my element. I caught The Red Hot Chillie Peppers this fall at the Shorline to check out Flea, (who, in his childhood must have played Cello), stomped on somthing which took his Bass down a register. Along with the thirty-six PA subwoofers was moving way more air than even Lee Micheals. And this was outdoors. Which brings me to my question.

Does any body know what Flea uses for an octaver? Or which octaver works very good?

I have a Boss octaver and I use it to fatten lines I play on my fretless. It can be very expressive in some circumstances. My boss pedal works well, but I believe the ebs (which I'd gladly take off your hands, Phil) is the best one on the market, and it has a price tag to match.

that to me looks like an MXR Micro amp. i had a friend that acquired one from an old old recording guy/guitarist from britain. we used it as a preamp for some home recordings awhile back. he probably uses it for extra gain when slapping or maybe to make the qtron really bust through.
